SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 432,492, dated July 15, 1890.

l Application iiled March l, 1890. Serial No. 342,214. (No model.)

To CLZZ whom, it may con/cern.-

Beit known that-I, GEORGE MARQUA, a citizen of the United States, and a resident. of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Carriages, of; which the following is a specilication.

My invention relates to that class of carriages known as Willow-work.

The object of Iny invention is to provide a knockdown carriage that can be readily taken apart and packed for transportation and easily put together.

The various features of my invention will be 'fully set forth in thc description of the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan view of my improvement with three of the sides shown in knockdown position. Fig. 2 is a view of the same put together. Fig. 3 is a modification of tions are made, so that when put togethentherc is at each corner of the carriage two cornerposts instead of one, as hitherto constructed. This employment of two corner-posts and the main frame, to which the sectional frames are securely attached, enables me to make it in a knockdown form. The willow and cross-rails must be firmly bound to the posts b, and the f Woven work done on each section separately.

They are then secured to the 1n ain frame l. by through-screws passing entirely through the sectional rails a. and into the main frame l, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. l. rlh'e ends of post l) of the side sections pass into sockets in cross-bars d. An inferior modification could be made by uniting the sectional frame-pieces Ct together' at the corners and dispensing with the main frame Las shown in the modification, Fig. 3; but these modifications are not as strong and convenient as the form shown in Fig. l, where they are attached in several sections, as at c, Fig. 2, along the sides of the carriage.

rPhe important feature ot -this invention is the making of each section separate, each connected to a sectional frame-piece, and the sectional frames firmly united together form a complete carriage-body.

Having described myinvention,what I claim isl. A childs carriage composed of willowwork made in sections, each section having its own corner-post and sectional rail ai, which are secured to the main frame l by fastening the sectional frame to the main trame, substantially as described.

2. In a childs carriage formed of willowwork sections separately connected each to its own sectional rail a, thc said sections being secured together to form a complete carriagebody, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

GEORGE MARQUA.
